Existing players keep the app ad-free, permanently. There is nothing to do and nothing to change. Also in this update: * Filling the last square with a wrong letter no longer leaves the keyboard stuck. Backspace clears it so you can try again. * Remove Ads and Restore Purchases are now on the main menu. * Added Contact Us, so you can reach us from the main menu or Settings.

Thanks for playing WordShift! We also reimagined the Daily Puzzle. Instead of several puzzles each day, there is now one focused daily challenge on a rotating difficulty, a single streak to build, and a countdown to the next one. You can also discover more of our games right from the menu, and we have polished things throughout with a handful of fixes. Happy decoding!

Smarter backspace - Backspace now moves the cursor back and clears the letter on the cell it lands on in a single press. No more double-tapping to delete. Redesigned victory and defeat screens - Winning and losing now show a refined frosted-glass card with your emoji grid, current streak, and the next move. The old system alert is gone. Cleaner under the hood - Smaller install size, a few visual refinements, and the in-app rating prompt now shows up only at the right moments.

WordShift 3.0 is here with a new way to play. NEW CUSTOM KEYBOARD A WordShift keyboard now lives at the bottom of every puzzle. Letters you have correctly locked in are colored and disabled on the keyboard, so you can see at a glance what is off the board. PENCIL MODE A new pencil key lets you try a guess without committing. Penciled letters appear at half opacity with a dashed border and do not count against your wrong guesses. Double tap the pencil key to commit when you are sure. NEW HINT ECONOMY Start with 4 hints on Easy, 3 on Normal, 2 on Hard, 1 on Challenge. Earn an extra hint every time you complete a word. The streak based bonus system has been replaced by pencil mode. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Give Up has moved to a stop sign in the header with a confirmation dialog. Letter frequency is now a clean popup overlay. Returning players go straight to the menu. All your wins, percentages, and daily streaks carry over from version 2.
